Fresh from being recognised among the region’s top hoteliers, S Hotel and Sunset on the Palms recently welcomed the Digicel Jamaica team for a courtesy visit rooted in shared values, thoughtful leadership, and a commitment to high standards in service.

Both properties are widely recognised for redefining the modern Jamaican hotel experience through design, culture, and consistent service delivery. The visit followed recent international recognition for the properties, reinforcing the standards and consistency that continue to guide their operations.

Led by Stephen Murad, Chief Executive Officer of Digicel Jamaica, the visit also included Tashima Walker, General Manager for Digicel Business and Joy Clark, Stakeholder Engagement Manager and Chairman of the Digicel Foundation. The team met with hotelier Christopher Issa, owner of S Hotel and Sunset on the Palms, and his son Thomas Issa, Group Manager.

Conversation during the visit offered insight into Issa’s management philosophy, shaped by strong values, people-first thinking, and the belief that success is an evolving journey.

Discussions touched on origin stories, the road to growth, and the idea that rebuilding with values matters just as much as constructing physical spaces.

Reflections on leadership, listening, and fostering service excellence underscored a clear understanding that meaningful progress begins with those at the centre of the experience.

Beyond business, the exchange was grounded in culture and connection. From shared elements of Jamaican heritage to candid dialogue on growth, development, and long-term partnership, the visit reinforced the strength of alignment between Digicel and its hospitality partners.

As long-standing clients of Digicel, with a relationship spanning more than a decade, S Hotel and Sunset on the Palms continue to reflect what is possible when reliable connectivity supports not just operations, but the experiences and relationships that define service excellence.
